WHY NOT HAVE A CONTEST for Patches etc ?????

I'm sure there are a lot of good design artists out there.

Be nice to have quite a few different designs.

Just a thought

Thank you

Would anyone buy this one?  (It wouldn't be grainy like this, I had to lower the res, to use PS.)



You can't do much about the length of your life, so focus on the width.

That's why I made this post.

I would.
I stated years ago when this question came up that you are selling shirts to a very conservative crowd, therefore, they would probably sell better if the art work was also on the conservative side.

I agree with Jim and I would buy this on a shirt.

Any news on that polo shirt with embroidered logo?

I like polo shirts too.  But most of us won't ride with wind flapping collars (maybe excluding oxfords with button down collars).  I'm just sayin'.

That is very sharp!

Yes I would as long as the large design is on the back.

My preference has always been a small "vest pocket " logo on the front and the large graphics on the back.

Concur on keeping major graphics on the back.

Heavy silkscreens on the front cause and hold copious chest sweat when riding in warm weather.

It happens on the back too, but it's less irritating, and all us mammals make more heat on the anterior than the posterior.

Well, if you ride with ATGATT, I wouldn't think that would be an issue but.......

Speaking for myself, when (and this is infrequent) a flapping collar bothers me, I simply roll the collar inside the shirt but, that may not work for everyone.    :-*

I would buy this shirt, long and short sleeve. I like it.
It would look good with the font from the bike, its close to Times New Roman but close.

I agree with others. I'd like to have something understated. I just don't want to walk around like a billboard with a huge dragon on my back.

I would love just THIS on the front of a shirt, like on the left breast of a t-shirt!

Ya know, the more I think about it, the more I like this idea.   Embroidered on a polo shirt.   Yeah, I really like it.   There's nothing wrong with the bold printed shirts and they are very appropriate for most activities but, I think the Valkyrie is a classy motorcycle and it's riders deserve a classy shirt with logo.   Just my opinion, it ain't worth much but, it's all mine.   Did I mention I really like that tank badge embroidered on a polo shirt?  ;)

If VRCC isn't interested, I know a lady that has the ability to get this done.   I'd be interested enough to see if she can get this done.   Connie, let me know something.

There may be a copyright issue.  I'm pretty sure our current printer/embroiderer wouldn't be willing to take the chance.  I would have to check with the rest of the VRCC partners to see if they're willing to take the chance, if we found someone that would make them.

I like Polo shirts and T- Shirt both.  I ride with a helmet , so the flapping isn't there.  Think I would ride with the T-shirt and Polo to most events etc..  Anything that is American,  Stars, Stripes etc.. and the one with the Black Valkyrie would be great.  Hats also of course..

Thank you

We have VRCC hats, but stock is getting low.

Just FYI
In the EU, someone in selling these nowadays
I guess it's designed for the German market

There's a bunch of people putting that ad on the Valkyrie sites.  Some in the U.S., some in Europe... seems sketchy to me.

Another Joe Boyd tribute would be nice. The one I have is getting a little threadbare.

We have a Joe Boyd Memorial shirt every year at InZane.  We have some leftovers from 2020 for $10, but only in medium or large.

You can purchase here: https://valkyrie-riders-cruiser-club.square.site/store



I have many white Joe Boyd shirts from through the years. They all
look like I've been using them to do chores on 20 acres of South
Carolina red clay. I got two of the 2020 shirts and tried to keep
them clean. Right away a giant green caterpillar got on my shoulder
while I was driving the 8-N and when I brushed it off it smooshed.
